Fantasy Football FF247 Team Game-week 38
Oh Andy! Andy, Andy, Andy… You big donkey. You have no idea how many seasons you wrecked last week! It was all there on a plate. Swansea on holidays and resting players, Man United struggling to defend crosses, you on a hot streak, 6 goals in the previous 7 games. And you decide to lay an egg on the all important ‘triple captain’ week for us. Thanks. It’s not even like your team didn’t score, they got 4 over the piece. Even an assist would have been appreciated, but no. And now everyone’s going to sell you this week in a fit of rage and you’re going to score 2 aren’t you, we just know it! Andy aside, our ‘DGW’ side had 8 players playing twice which equated to 19 chances as such. We scored 84 which means that they averaged just 4.4 points each. When you put it like that it’s pretty poor. When we tell you that Patrick van Aanholt weighed in with over 20% of those points then that probably says it all really! We’ve not really seen many, if any, ‘monster’ scores though like we did in DGW34, with some approaching the 200 mark, so perhaps we escaped lightly. Our overall rank jumped up some 18k places to 121k. A far cry from where we expected and wanted to be but it is what it is and so let’s see if we can make one final push to crack that 100k mark this week…
Transfer decision for GW37 – Sold – Riyad Mahrez; Bought – Sadio Mane
We didn’t really need to do a transfer this week, for probably the first time this season, and so we just had a look around at the players available and their respective fixtures and said “who’s most likely to go off on one if the mood takes them?!”. The answer was Mane. The Saints are the current in form team, scoring freely, they’re at home and are playing a Palace side who will have more than one eye on next weeks FA Cup final, both in terms of psychology and actual team selection. Tadic was the other option as he’s been firing too but Mane tends to go off in bursts and if there’s goals around then he’s likely to be involved in the fun. Especially when there’s a transfer window pending and this is his last chance to showcase himself. Not that we are suggesting anything but there does seem to be a direct correlation between his output and them windows!
The team in full
The team pretty much picks itself. It’s always difficult to bench Patrick ‘get him because he once hit the post with a free-kick’ van Aanholt but basically if Carlsberg picked defences then this week they’d pick ours. We’ve had a last minute change with the Payet news but nothing too taxing as it simply means Lanzini takes his place in the 11. We’re pretty happy with that lot but we’ve all thought that a few times this season so let’s see what happens!
Captain – Alexis Sanchez
For whatever reason Arsenal have a tradition of suddenly turning on the style on the last day of the season and a home game against a very poor and very relegated Villa just feels like a perfect storm!
Our Vice-captain is Sergio Aguero
Good luck for this week from the FF247 Team Committee. We thank you for sticking with us in what has been a very trying season! Our first season of doing this saw us riding relatively high and we finished about 5k but this one has been a disaster from start to finish! Pretty much everything we touched turned to sh*t if we’re being honest! We are just glad that we aren’t alone in that though as it has been the same for a good many. We hope we kept you entertained along the way though as we are always nothing if not honest about our feelings!

Morning all
Team DDG, Robles, Bellerin, Gabriel, Lovren, Simpson, Sanchez, Hazard, Payet, KDB, Lingard, Aguero, Deemey, Carroll. 1.1 in the bank and -4 PTAs. The Payet situation is annoying and wonder if I should leave it that Lingard comes in or transfer in Tadic or Mane? No issues with ML as already 160 clear. Thoughts anyone
As you so clear matey payet out for mane…why not ay good luck
Hi lads simple questions. Chasing League doubt I’ll catch him. Both have Sanchez and he’s defo cap him. But for different cappo what we thinking? Vardy,mane,tadic aguero. Vardy and mane standing out I think
Tough spot to be in. Guess you just have to pick one and hope for the best. Mane would be mine if I couldn’t do Sanchez. Bit boom or bust but that’s what you require.
So, taking a punt on Ozil..I’ll call it a punt as I cant see him in many of the teams here..also, none of my rivals have him. wishing for an “assisting” performance from him tonight. Rest this is my team..any changes in the current team you guys would suggest?
Sound as a trout Constantine, looks good.
Don’t you mean sound as a pound!!
It’s a great punt for the week that’s in it. Having Alexis and Mesult this week could be massive! Team is good to go, good luck!!
Thanks a lot rambo and Elle..
And asides to Elle, Thanks for the Regulars Cup mate..I was defeated by Kruz in the third/fourth round I guess. Hope you continue with it in the next season too. will look forward to winning it..cheers mate
Cheers.
Good to go matey ozil could be a gem good luck
than you jumpers.ATB to you too my friend..
Captain Mane?
Thoughts? Chasing a 16 point gap, rival doesn’t have him. He will be more than likely captaining Sanchez who I also have.
Guts of €300 on the line…
Just debating that myself mate. Could be mane hatrick. Just concerns slightly because he was ill apparently so will he play 90 I’m sure he will
It’s either going to be 4 or 30 points from him. Be very disappointed if he didn’t start / play 80ish. Nothing said of his illness which is always a good sign and Saints pushing for Europe too so surely he’ll feature heavily… Surely!
Rambo, I’d keep away from him.Gametime might be an issue here..Play safe with Sanchez/Kun. Going with Kun myself
Morning everyone, last changes of the Season!
I’ve sold luke warm Mahrez for hot stuff Tadic.
Concerned by the Defoe news now, could sell Carroll and bring in Long for a hit. I have 0.0 in the bank. So it has to be Carroll.
hi guys,
which combo would you prefer for this last gw?
1. vardy-mahrez
2. carroll-mané
thank you
